FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

As we get into the throws of winter and pass the midway point of our school year, it is important that we stay connected. We have so many wonderful things happening at school that I want to share with you. Just as importantly, I need to hear from you. Our next "Coffee & Conversation" will be Friday January 25th at 9:00 am here at Hayes. It gives us an opportunity to sit down together and share insights about the high school experience. It is a chance to update you on new classes for the coming year, fill you in on activities that our students and staff are involved in, and gives you a chance to share your concerns and positive experiences. I have invited our middle school principal, Dan Bartha and his parents as well. It should be a nice collaborative morning.  There is no sign up, just show up!  See you on the 25th!
